Visibility, awareness and terminology around non-gender-conforming identities are ever-evolving. This talk will explore how a range of LGTBQIA2S+ visual artists are using emerging technologies, figurative painting, performance and photography to express their fluid identities, advance queer discourse and break open the gender binary.

Live ASL interpretation will be provided. Auto-captions are available if you watch the lecture with Zoom.

If you are unable to watch the lecture live it will remain posted on our Facebook page. It will also be recorded, closed captioning added and then posted here by the end of November.

Free! Watch online with Zoom or Facebook Live.
